Thalia Kruger on Migrating Children and Private International Law

Migrations have been a pressing issue for some time and in particular since the European migrant crisis beginning with 2015.  Associate Professor Thalia Kruger from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, addressed some of those issue before a full Blue Auditorium on Wednesday 14 March 2018. In her truly inspiring lecture, she questioned the role of the private international law in providing the answers to individual migrant children cases, with particular emphasis on the status of unaccompanied children. Her previous experience as an NGO counsel and researcher in international and European family law enabled her to rely on her broad perspective to establish more intense connections between migration law and private international law. She concludes by saying, inter alia, that central authorities which communicate within the scope of the private international law instruments should be more efficiently used in resolving migration issues in actual cases.
